61. Plutarch: Life Of Aratus (1) - Translation 2 dionysodorus the Troezenian, however, corrects him, and gives it right Whobut unhappy sons will praise their sires ? http://www.attalus.org/old/aratus1.html

Plutarch: Life of Aratus - Chapters 1 - 30 The chapter numbers are shown in red Aratus of Sicyon lived from 271 to 213 B.C. He liberated his city from tyrants and became leader of the Achaean League. The philosopher Chrysippus, my dear Polycrates, seems to have thought the ancient proverb not quite justifiable, and therefore he delivered it, not as it really is, but what he thought it should be :- "Who but a happy son will praise his sire ?" Dionysodorus the Troezenian, however, corrects him, and gives it right:- "Who but unhappy sons will praise their sires ?" He says, the proverb was made to silence those who, having no merit of their own, dress themselves up in the virtues of their ancestors, and are lavish in their praises. And those in whom "the virtues of their sires shine in congenial beauty", to make use of Pindarus' expression; who, like you, form their conduct after the brightest patterns in their families, may think it a great happiness to remember the most excellent of their ancestors, and often to hear or speak of them; for they assume not the honour of other men's virtues for want of merit in their own, but uniting their great actions to those of their progenitors, they praise them as the authors of their descent, and the models of their lives.

64. Aratus - Plutarch's Lives But dionysodorus the Trœzenian proves him to be wrong, and restores the truereading, which is this—. “Who praise their fathers but degenerate sons?†http://www.constitution.org/rom/plutarch/aratus.htm

Plutarch’s Lives Aratus Translated by John Dryden and Revised by Arthur Hugh Clough T he philosopher Chrysippus, O Polycrates, quotes an ancient proverb, not as really it should be, apprehending, I suppose, that it sounded too harshly, but so as he thought it would run best, in these words:— “Who praise their father but the generous sons?” But Dionysodorus the Trœzenian proves him to be wrong, and restores the true reading, which is this:— “Who praise their fathers but degenerate sons?” telling us that the proverb is meant to stop the mouth of those who, having no merit of their own, take refuge in the virtues of their ancestors, and make their advantage of praising them. But, as Pindar hath it— “He that by nature doth inherit From ancestors a noble spirit,” as you do, who make your life the copy of the fairest originals of your family,—such, I say, may take great satisfaction in being reminded, both by hearing others speak and speaking themselves, of the best of their progenitors. For they assume not the glory of praises earned by others out of any want of worth of their own, but, affiliating their own deeds to those of their ancestor, give them honor as the authors both of their descent and manners. Therefore I have sent to you the life which I have written of your fellow-citizen and forefather Aratus, to whom you are no discredit in point either of reputation or of authority, not as though you had not been most diligently careful to inform yourself from the beginning concerning his actions, but that your sons, Polycrates and Pythocles, may both by hearing and reading become familiar with those family examples which it behooves them to follow and imitate. It is a piece of self-love, and not of the love of virtue, to imagine one has already attained to what is best.

Cult Prostitution In New Testament Ephesus: A Reappraisal S. M. Baugh * Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society [Reproduced by permission] * S. M. Baugh is associate professor of New Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary at 1725 Bear Valley Parkway, Escondido, CA 92027. I. Introduction It is widely held that cult prostitution in connection with fertility rites was commonly practiced throughout the NT world. This idea seems so clearly established in the minds of many people as to need little proof. The current of NT scholarly opinion seems to flow inexorably in this direction, which lends the idea of Greco-Roman cult prostitution weighty authority. For instance, Everett Ferguson, whose scholarly work deserves high regard, writes: All kinds of immoralities were associated with the [Greco-Roman] gods. Not only was prostitution a recognized institution, but through the influence of the fertility cults of Asia Minor, Syria, and Phoenicia it became a part of the religious rites at certain temples. Thus there were one thousand "sacred prostitutes" at the temple of Aphrodite at Corinth. Notice that Ferguson interprets the origin of cult prostitution "at certain temples" to have been inspired by fertility practices in the East. Such cult prostitution is familiar to students of the Ancient Near East (ANE) as part of the OT world, so it would seem logical that such practices could move around the Mediterranean down through the centuries into the Hellenistic and Roman cities.

One condition of such enfolding was the , the contest, the encounter that produces struggle and change. As scholars such as Walter Ong, John Poulakos, and Jeffrey Walker have pointed out, agonism provided an important context for the emergence of rhetoric in antiquity. As I will suggest, athletics made available an agonistic model for early rhetors to follow as they developed their art. But the force or quality of this brand of agonism is nonetheless at times surprising, and this unusual character of the

The Sophists. sofistai , as teachers of wisdom, i.e. as those who could make wise ( sofizein Sophistry is certainly a word of ill-repute, and indeed it is particularly through the opposition to Socrates and Plato that the Sophists have come into such disrepute that the word usually now signifies that, by false reasoning, some truth is either refuted and made dubious, or something false is proved and made plausible. We have to put this evil significance on one side and to forget it. On the other hand, we now wish to consider further from the positive and properly speaking scientific side, what was the position of the Sophists in Greece. It was the Sophists who now applied the simple Notion as thought (which with Zeno in the Eleatic school had commenced to turn towards its pure counterpart, motion) to worldly objects generally, and with it penetrated all human relations. For it is conscious of itself as the absolute and single reality, and, jealous of all else, exercises its power and rule in this reality as regards all else, since this desires to be considered as the determinate which is Dot Thought. The thought identical with itself, thus directs its negative powers towards the manifold determination of the theoretical and the practical, the truths of natural consciousness and the immediately recognized laws and principles; and what to the ordinary conception is established, dissolves itself in it, and in so doing leaves it to particular subjectivity to make itself first and fixed, to relate everything to itself.

Reviewed by Waldemar Heckel, University of Calgary. John Maxwell O'Brien's new study of Alexander is subtitles "A Biography", and such it is in the ancient sense. Colourful, lively, and largely anecdotal, the final product calls to mind Plutarch's distinction between history and biography: "For it is not Histories that I am writing, but Lives; and in the most illustrious deeds there is not always a manifestation of virtue or vice, nay, a slight thing like phrase or a jest often makes a greater revelation of character than battles where thousands fall, or the greatest armaments, or sieges of cities" ( Alex. 1.; B. Perrin tr.) Thus, we have come a long way back from Brian Bosworth's admirable attempt to de-Alexanderize the history of this period in his Conquest and Empire: The Reign of Alexander the Great , which deserves to be subtitled "A History". But, although Alexander has dominated the pages of earlier works on this period including Fritz Schachermeyr's powerful Alexander der Grosse of 1973 none, not even Mary Renault's

Pp. 198. ISBN 0-521-82996-8. $70.00. Reviewed by Anne Mahoney, Tufts University (anne.mahoney@tufts.edu) Word count: 1987 words In this book, Netz argues that the history of mathematics should consist not only of a catalog of which mathematicians worked on what problems when, but also of an analysis of how they conceived of the problems they were solving. He observes that many modern textbooks, sourcebooks, and even more scholarly works on the history of mathematics obscure the line of development when they almost automatically translate earlier works into modern notation. The example he develops throughout is a problem studied by Archimedes: how do you cut a sphere, with a plane going through one of the latitude lines, so that the volume of the bigger part has a certain given ratio to the volume of the smaller part? For Archimedes, this is essentially a geometric problem, to be solved by manipulating geometric objects and their ratios lines, rectangles, similar triangles, and so on.

Retour Page d'accueil Avraham Portaleone was born in Mantua in 1541. His father was a well-known doctor ; the Portaleone family included an impressive number of physicians, going back to the 15th century. Once this general training was over, he began studying philosophy and medicine in Pavia, or, as he put it, aristotelian philosophy and Greek - Arabic medicine. From this time on, he began a brilliant career as a physician ; he was the personal doctor of the Duke of Mantua and the Monferrato, Guglielmo Gonzaga ; he wrote several treatises on general medical matters, on drugs and on surgery. Responding to the Duke's request, he composed a dialogue on gold, in which he debated the issue of remedial benefits of this precious metal. The writing was done 'al regel echad , hastily, as he would later explain.

And first he broke his mind to Aristomachus and Ecdelus, the one an exile of Sicyon, the other, Ecdelus, an Arcadian of Megalopolis, a philosopher, and a man of action, having been the familiar friend of Arcesilaus the Academic at Athens. These readily consenting, he communicated with the other exiles, whereof some few, being ashamed to seem to despair of success, engaged in the design; but most of them endeavored to divert him from his purpose, as one that for want of experience was too rash and daring.
